Abstract
From Outcrop Observations to Geologic Reservoir Models using Esri Software
Track: Mining and Geosciences
Author(s): Marieke Dechesne, Donna Anderson, Jim Borer
The gap between geologic mapping and geologic reservoir models can be bridged with Esri software. Data are collected in the field by a team of geologists using handheld GPS, paper maps, and ArcPad. In the evenings, these data are transferred to an ArcView database. Back in the office, data are interpreted and analyzed using ArcView Spatial and ArcView 3D Analyst. Then map layouts are produced, or the data are exported to geologic reservoir modeling packages, such as Petra, Petrel or gOcad. The ArcView database is being integrated with a general relational database containing both spatial, geologic, interpreted, petrophysical, and reservoir information.
